Basics

Basics:

• Models (blog, tag, categories, etc)
• IndexController (browse page, view page)
• Views (browse, view).

Will try to take a front-end design from somewhere else, unless you gays can come up with some ideas.

It seems that we need to play it around coz of common theme layout system and styles... just to make sure that themes switching will not break module blog ))

[pgasiorowski]

Yup. Was also wondering how many and what kind of layout settings make available initially. Examples are:

List view:

• Show date added
• Show date updated
• Show short description
• Show tags

Position of the date will be set from css (float:left) so that user's template can override it easily.
I think that's the way to approach it instead of putting too many settings upfront.

Post view:

• Same as above

Admins should be able to see all blog posts, including these disabled which should be greyed-out or bordered with a dotted line etc..

That's all pretty easy, just throwing random ides before pushing for anything.

Yep, this is common things. I've thought about this in that direction, too.

[pgasiorowski]

Just pushed:

• added initial post view
• updated list view
• some front-end styles

Thanks, both issues sorted.

Just pushed:

• CategoryField now showing nested subcategories
• Appearance settings (show this, show that)

Things still needs addressing:

• Post image/thumbnail. I'm still not sure how do we handle resizing. We can either use single image and let browser scale it or ask for upload and re-size on server. All platforms I'm aware of will do the latter.
• Post tags appearance. Currently there are 'btn' buttons which does not feel right. They'll need own styling which does not inherit from buttons
• Category posts
• Tags posts
• Layout responsiveness and mobile tests

I think that we can resize them on server using some settings from admin panel

Pushed implementation for post image, thumbnail and resizing.

These images are saved into /public/files/blog but ideally this could be abstracted in the CMS to allow other filesystems than local filesystem only (eg. S3, FlySystem, CDN or whatever).
I'm gonna create a ticked under cms to discuss this further.
